Oh, no. im just being cynical about thats sticker "Finest Quality Craftsmanship" followed by "Made in Taiwan". My personal experiance with such products, isn't too good. Some would instinctively group "Taiwan" with "cheap", due to their mass-produced childrens toys, and fiberboard furniture. Not trying to be offensive, sorry if seems that way.

For all i know that case could stop a bullet.

Okay, conceded. Some Taiwanese product is of very poor quality. Same can be said of some product from many countries, including the USA.

However, the two top mobo manufacturers are Asus and Gigabyte -- both Taiwanese companies. And Lian Li is probably the Rolls Royce of computer case manufacturers (to Silverstone's Bentley - Silverstone having been formed by a group of Lian Li employees).

However, I wouldn't expect a Lian Li case to stop a bullet -- it's made of light-weight aluminum -- not steel & kevlar.

Taiwan is rarely synonymous with quality, however Lian-Li definitely is. That's why they carry a much bigger $$$

Is the case loud at full speed?
Also why not get the Antec Skeleton case?

Its dead freaking quiet. To me, I don't care AT ALL how loud it is. I am always listening to loud metal, so it doesn't bother me. However, even at full speed it is quiet. The fans in my room are louder.

And I still plan on building my PVC skeleton case. Will post pics when its done if anyone wants to see it.

I have the Nine-Hundred Case and I like it alot but the damn lights inside keep me up at night! lol

Lately I have been shutting down the PC at night so that the lights won't keep me up and so that my room will be cooler (it's in my bedroom)

Same here. I have to turn it off (which is why I am messing with sleep mode) at night, and during the day. I live in Arizona, so it is about 115 F in the afternoon. My room hits 90 F if I leave my PCs on. >_<

Yeah it's not that hot here in Maryland but my room feels like 90 F!

With my 32" LCD TV and my PC it is way hot

I would say this if you have the money
Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER COSMOS CX-1000FLNG-01-GP Color Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower CSX Limited Edition Fallen Angel Computer Case - Computer Cases
I tricked my friend into getting one. He got the one with skulls and there are only 500 made. It looks sweet.
